I don't have/car doesn't have the RPO codes on it but it is a 87 Camaro badged as an IROC in all the right places. The vin decoder says it is a 350 V8 does that mean it is an IROC for sure?

For 1987, the answer is yes. The 350 (VIN eighth digit = 8) was an option ($1045) only with the Z28 with IROC-Z option packages. You might want to check the rear axle assembly too as it was a 9-bolt with 3.27 gears.

Is that for all '87 IROC's or just 350's? My RPO shows 3.23 gears IIRC.

If you have 3.23's in an 87 with G92, then you have an Iroc-z with a 305 TPI and an automatic. Like mine.

So it is just for 350's

Labrat nailed it:

1987 only
350 TPI: 3.27 9-bolt / G92 not available
305 TPI/auto: 2.73 10-bolt / G92 = 3.23 10-bolt
305 TPI/5-spd: 3.08 10-bolt / G92 = 3.45 9-bolt
